Bit more data led "On why he left, he continued: "Everything at the club then changed and they've gone in a different direction so I made the decision to leave. They wanted to be more data-led but at the end of the day, you've still got to find people who want to play for the club, rather than just coming for the money. " You signed up with an analytics company at some point this season, sure it was mentioned on here, so presumably that's what he's on about. https://mobile.twitter.com/AnalyticsFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In honesty the whole Moneyball concept is using data and analytics to find players who have been undervalued. Clearly I've no idea what the discussion on strategy has been but I'd guess that @well fan for life's point about simply using data to inform recruitment decisions is probably closer to the mark than us using stats to try and find someone who'll score 20 goals a season but no one's noticed because he looks weird.

well fan for life Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 [Probably boring] Kevin de Bruyne negotiated his last contract using data and I am all in favour of it as an approach. https://trainingground.guru/articles/how-analytics-fc-helped-de-bruyne-negotiate-new-man-city-deal Tbh I'd be disappointed if anyone actively rejected use of data in football. Ultimately if you can use data to narrow your pool of targets down to folk who can add value to your team in terms of raw numbers then that's only a good thing. Obviously if they then turn out to be a w**k/want a fortune then you can get rid of them at that point. [/probably boring] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Mulgrew is 35 now and last played for Fleetwood Town. I think every team and every dressing room needs some experience in it to guide the younger plays. However, I'm not sure if Charlie fucking Mulgrew has the right kind of character to be that guy. Not for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said by who, Alexander himself?, Magloires' agent?, some chunt at the wind up? Lamie and Mugabi already have the 'distinctly average' berths covered, think we should be aiming for better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
